“We aren’t trying to become self-made people, but instead, we are allowing the Holy Spirit to make us transformed saints. Transformed saints that are known by their unplanned Christlike reactions. This is why I keep stressing for Christians to not stop at salvation, but to press on to be baptized in the Holy Spirit.” —Craig T. Owens

NICODEMUS QUESTIONS JESUS
John 3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
John 3:8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

that particular catholic family thing where there’s not only just crucifixes of varying degrees of ornatehood and little saint and mary statues or prayer cards all over the house but there’s also just. a bunch of shit that belongs or once belonged to a priest. just emailed the uncle i rent from to ask if it was cool to get rid of this old sagging armchair that i figured was his - he gets back to me to say that not only did it belong to our old priest (who died in like 2015) but that THAT priest had gotten it as a hand-me-down from HIS predecessor the priest before that

“A Spirit-baptized Christian is distinguished by the miraculous ways God confirms His presence in that person’s life. What really honors God is not a predictable response or even a learned response, but an unpredictable, miraculous response: A Spirit-baptized Christian’s response to bad news should be peace and joy.
“I believe the Holy Spirit can so transform our hearts that our response becomes an unmistakable testimony of the power of God. We may experience the initial pang of regret and pain but our next response turns all the focus off of us and on to God.
“The Holy Spirit uses trials to transform our hearts and minds into Christlike thinking and action.”

Baptized With The Holy Spirit
It was the weekend before Easter 2010. I had been reading my bible and I read of how Jesus, after being lifted to heaven, sent the Holy Spirit to his disciples and they all began to speak in a different tounge. I remember being intrigued by this and that very night I prayed to God, that if it was his will, that he would bless me with this gift. This was on a Friday. The following day I was…

Why did Cornelius receive the Holy Spirit before Water Baptism?
QUESTION:
Explain how Cornelius and the Gentiles had received the remission of sins by believing in Him as Peter said and received the Holy Ghost BEFORE water baptism.
I still say Peter did not preach another gospel as that gospel of the kingdom is the same gospel of grace as the gospel of the kingdom was never going to happen until after His death, resurrection and ascension as Jesus said to…
